Vermeulen is a high-volume contributor on both sides of the ball, averaging over eight tackles and six carries per match across 18 appearances in top-level competition. His defensive output is particularly striking, with a single-game peak of 21 tackles underlining his capacity to anchor the defensive line when the pressure is on. In the carry game he provides consistent metres-after-contact rather than explosive bursts, making him a reliable platform-builder at the breakdown.
